Summary: | Relevance of the research is caused active landslide processes on the territory of Barnaul. Among all gravity processes, irrespective of large-scale landslides causing considerable economic losses and deaths have punctuated the cityґs history. As a result of urban development and the increasing industrial impact on the shoreline areas there is a growing demand for hazard analysis of the sloping shoreline and identifying the sites within landslide hazard zoning of the city which should be given prime attention and monitored under the in fluence of anthropogenic activities. Aim of the work is to carry out landslide hazard assessment of the sloping shoreline on the territory of Barnaul. Research methods: logic analysis, collecting factual material for the entire period of landslide observation, field surveys for detecting the most geologically active areas and reasons for the development of hazardous geological processes, semi-quantitative method of landslide hazard assessment. Results. Applying a semi-quantitative method of landslide hazard assessment for establishing the probability of landsliding, depending upon the specific nature of the impact and grading it by points, the authors have designed a landslide hazard map for the sloping shoreline of Barnaul. Landslide hazard assessment is carried out on the basis of the presented map. The sites within landslide hazard zoning of the city are identified and characterized with varying degrees of risks. The given results can be applicable to economic planning activities and protection policies management in the areas of sloping shoreline. |
